OK, well, due to all the abuse, I have had to change the photo I have posted...

I missed the first one - since I am not here on weekends - sort of not here -
but I can tell you this one isn't you, since you don't have on regulation work clothes.

You have the wrong end of your anatomy showing - should be the crack not the handles! And if you were a really old head - you would have had on overalls and they would have been unbuttoned on the side clear down to .... and no underwear for coolness. Now I am going to go [:I] and look like my picture for awhile!

Mook!

ABUSE What abuse? We all loved the photo. [:D]

Can't say much bad about this one--doesn't all that hair get in the way? [^]

Take care, stay safe, and remember Look, Listen, and Live.

Don't forget the troops.

And Jenny's photo?
Remember, you said it was digital.
Sure?
One of them was altered on a computer.
One is from film, one is digital.
By the way, I work outdoors 8 to 10 hours a day, and am ruddy colored to begin with.
I own a Cannon F1 35mm I bought in the 70s, along with more lens than I can carry, a YashicaMat 2 1/4 twin lens reflex, a 35mm Olympus single lens reflex, a Cannon TX, also 35mm, and a Minolta Dimage Hi7 digital.
The Dimage digital and the F1 cost about the same, around $1600.00.
I can promise you that, unless you took the photo, you cant tell the difference.
I will explain the red problem with both Jenny's and Kathi's photos tomorrow.

If memory serves, any color correction done to a photo will affect the entire photo. Perhaps there is a way to do just the skin tones using a photo editor, but I'd bet it would be a time-consuming task.

With film, if the type of film is correct for the intended use (daylight film for outdoors) there should be no need for correction (except for polarization). For indoor shooting under flourescent light with daylight film i use a FLD filter.

But digital just cannot do skin tones correctly. I have had many sales persons at many pro equipment stores try to sell me digital cameras. I always ask to see a representation of work done with digital, and I can ALWAYS tell the difference if there are people as the main or seconday subject. I probably could not tell the difference if, say, a train photo was taken digitally, unless I had a film image of the exact same scene. I'm sure someday soon digital will be good. And I really hope so! Film is so expensive!

BTW Ed, your photo was digital.

Hey, Limitedclear, if that was really you, better change your handle to "Restricted" or maybe just "Stop".


As you will note, I said I posted a photo, I never said it was a photo of ME. After all the "what does Mookie look like" stuff I figured it would be well received...

Jen, hope you do not mind waiting for my picture. Thomas the Tank engine will be at the Illinios train museum in 2 weeks. I hope to get one with me and my boy's in front of Thomas. (My wife refuses to join us on the grounds, she does not understand what we see in trains.)

Without messing up Ed's contest, the picture had nice colors when it came into this building. It went through 3 people and this is how it turned out. So much for web-gods and color adjustment. And it was on this end, not Dave Voss's doing. He just posted it for me!

Thanks for the compliment Ed - I really appreciate it! My Ed will too!
